My heart and love go out to Mrs. G's family. She was such an inspiration to all of us at SVCA. I have so many fond memories of my time at school and Mrs. G. Even seeing her after my school years, I enjoyed talking to her when I saw her. She was truly a wonderful and godly woman. She will be missed but we will see her again when we see her in heaven. She will greet all of us with a smile and open arms.
